With power - shift gear changes without any interruption in power delivery (with the exception of the range - change, which takes place when shifting from 6th to 7th gear), the 12 - speed transmission maintains torque, and the truck does not lose
any speed during gear changes.
Not exact matches
The six -
speed automatic made a couple abrupt shifts
during a day of driving, but
gear changes were otherwise smooth and the transmission readily kicked down a few
gears for more passing power.
Selecting tow mode on the seven -
speed automatic transmission
changes the shift mapping so the QX can hold
gears longer
during acceleration and downshift earlier when decelerating.
During gearshifts, the engine
speed drops because the driver removes his / her leg from the accelerator pedal before applying clutch and
changing into next
gear.
Constant -
speed sweepers and in - town hairpins are taken in style, but any full throttle application tugs at the steering wheel enough to disrupt a cornering line or demand a firm hand
during gear changes.
The new transmission, a five -
speed produced by Jatco Transtechnology Ltd., features a slope control system that avoids unnecessary shift
changes during a hill climb by holding the transmission in fourth
gear rather than shifting down.
The Continental comes with a four -
speed automatic transmission, which
changes gears nearly imperceptibly - except when downshifting from fourth to third
during a pass.
The 520 and its four - cylinder diesel engine with 190 hp sounds a little lumpy
during the cold start, but consumes 0.3 l / 100 km more, but that's it again with the differences: The eight -
speed automatic by ZF also shows outstanding
gear changes, all very soft (leaves it to the speedometer to inform about switch points).
GT Pack priced at # 30195 gets 19» forged RAYS alloy wheels, heated seats trimmed in black suede and leather, a six - CD Bose audio system with eight speakers, cruise control,
speed limiter and Synchro Rev Control; a new innovation that automatically matches the revs,
during up and down - shifts, with the manual gearbox, making
gear changes faster and smoother.
But the
changes don't stop there — there have also been revisions made to the electronically - controlled four -
speed automatic transmission (E-AT) to reduce mechanical losses, while the transmission lock - up range has been expanded in third and fourth
gear during acceleration and steady - state running; lock - up has also been added to these ratios under deceleration.
Our test car suffered from a sticky throttle, which would cause the engine to hang onto revs for a second, even increasing engine
speed at times, while backing off from the throttle
during a
gear change.
Delivering seamless acceleration at any
speed and in any
gear, the application of torque is almost uninterrupted
during gear changes, reducing lurching while in motion and between shifts.
